John Cena's 'Last Ever Opponent' Revealed? WWE Star Says 'Last Chance...'

John Cena's 'Last Ever Opponent' Revealed? WWE Star Says 'Last Chance...'

NDTV20 hours ago
John Cena started his WWE retirement tour back in January and the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion is rumoured to have his final fight against Gunther. In the past few months, Cena won the Elimination Chamber and defeated Cody Rhodes to win his record-breaking 17th World Championship at WrestlaMania. With his retirement date set for December this year, reports claimed that Gunther will have the privilege to fight him in his last ever match. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion has never faced Cena in his career but he has already made his feelings clear about the possible match.
'It's the last chance to get in the ring with him, so if that ever becomes a possibility, I would definitely take that," Gunther told the Daily Mail.
"John Cena is obviously one of the wrestlers, you can put him onto Mount Rushmore."
'If I get the chance I would definitely like to do that. Let's see how it plays out. Maybe I can end up as his last chance to win a championship at some point in that year, and I can be the one that crushes all those dreams. That would be very enjoyable."
Recently, former WWE champion JBL tried to predict John Cena's final opponent in WWE. On the latest episode of the 'Something to Wrestle' podcast, JBL took the names of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns before suggesting that a match between John Cena and The Rock will be the ideal way to end the story as it was the WWE legend who helped John Cena turn heel towards the end of his illustrious career.
"I think Brock would be awesome. I also think Roman would be awesome. I think both those would be incredible matches, but I think The Rock. That's kinda it because The Rock kinda helped him turn heel. The Rock had done so much."

Celebrating Global Icon And Hollywood Superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas On Her Birthday Today

1/6 Fresh off the success of Heads of State, where she stood shoulder to shoulder with John Cena and Idris Elba, global icon and Hollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas continues to shine brighter than ever — and today, we celebrate her. Whether playing an MI6 agent with commanding presence in Hollywood or making history as the first woman to grace the cover of Esquire India, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is a force like no other. Her journey is not just inspiring — it's transformational. She is the first Indian actress to headline an American network series (Quantico), the only South Asian to have solo posters in global franchises like Citadel and Heads of State, and a leading woman who has never played second — not in India, and certainly not in Hollywood. Beyond the screen, she's a trailblazing entrepreneur and producer. Her production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, now celebrates three Oscar nominations for The White Tiger, To Kill a Tiger, and the 2025 short Anuja — a remarkable feat in global filmmaking. Her red carpet presence is equally iconic, from being crowned the Queen Bee of the MET Gala to being the face of Bvlgari's global campaigns. With honors like TIME 100, Forbes' Most Powerful Women, and the Global Vanguard Award at this year's Gold Gala, Priyanka is not just a name — she's a movement. A true ambassador of Indian talent, she is a Hollywood superstar, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and a symbol of strength and inspiration for young women around the world. 6/6

Kane Breaks Silence On Potential Return To WWE, Gives Blunt Response

Are the WWE days behind Glenn Kane Jacobs, the Big Red Machine? It was in the 2021 Royal Rumble that Kane last fought. Since then, there has been no update on his potential in-ring return. The ardent fans of the WWE know the legacy Kane has managed to create, the impact, the buzz, even a glimpse of his can create in the ring. But, with the company looking more into the future, with long-term performers, there's been no hint over Kane's return. In an interview, when Kane was directly asked the big question, he cleared the situation. "[Laughs] I don't know about that, man. Oh man. Brother, we were just talking about athleticism and movement and keeping up with the pace of people nowadays. That may have left me behind, guys," said the WWE legend, told SEScoops. Over the years in the company, Kane managed to win virtually everything that was on offer. He has reigned as the WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW World Champion. Though a champion like him deserves a proper farewell, but the current situation makes that quite tricky. During another interview, Kane, who is the Knox County mayor at the moment, recalled his first interaction with Vince McMahon, the co-founder of WWE. "Yeah, I'll never forget my first meeting with Vince McMahon and he brought up the Isaac Yankem character as only he could. He asked if I had ever been afraid to go to the dentist. I was like 'No I haven't been.' He's like 'Well I have this idea for a character, a wrestling dentist - Isaac Yankem.' He's like 'I yank em, get it?' "Then he starts doing the Vince laugh. I was mortified actually because here I am sitting across from Vince McMahon who's the most powerful person in the wrestling industry and all I could think was 'Wait you flew me all the way up from Knoxville Tennessee to New York to tell me that you want me to be a wrestling dentist?'"
